Panoramiv view over the Rhön Mountains
✓ Done It´s about 150°. --Milseburg (talk) 13:54, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I have read here another time that hard daylight is rejected and the light of the low sun is preferred. Based on the original greek meaning of the word Panorama as "all"+ "sight", I would like to show the whole outlook from this prominent viewpoint. Otherwise, I would have chosen as title "Kreuzberg Panorama (right part) or something else restrictive. The other images are very good, but contain no further instructive geographical information and some peaks are covered in clouds, which is not the intention of my panorama. So the comparison doesn´t work very well. --Milseburg (talk) 13:54, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Light is not just a property of the time of day and angle of the sun to the horizon but also the direction you and your subject are facing wrt the light. There may be areas that are lit well and areas that are in deep shadow and unfortunately this photo has a huge amount of area in deep shadow. Also the mist has combined with the sunlight on the left to make a glare that reduces contrast while not generating any photogenic cloud inversion. While the viewpoint is fairly high, it isn't high enough to get above the near trees, so they totally dominate the view. By all means take a "all around" view if you like but only occasionally will this generate a scene that truly is exceptional. I would much rather see a view chosen and selected for being interesting rather than simply because it was inevitably part of the scene as one swings the camera around. Regardless of etymology, a panorama is any scene with a wide (or tall) aspect. -- Colin (talk) 18:45, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
